Crunchy Life Book 5 Whoever said being a kid was fun couldn't have been referring to life as a fifth-grader! For months now, the students in room 227 at Elite Public Charter School in Washington, D.C have been preparing for the big state tests. For some students, performing well on the tests will be the only way to prevent from being forced to attend a brutal month of summer school. And for one student in particular, doing well on his tests goes hand in hand with not staying back and repeating the fifth-grade. In a world full of challenges and difficult situations, Charles Anthony Thomas aka Crunchy will need to use every skill he has to make the most out of the month of May. Crunchy will be challenged with finding a way to come out on top as his teacher Mr. Leroy attempts to takes on a new role in Crunchy's life. The weather in Washington, D.C may be warming up which has given the kids a reason to be excited. But if Crunchy is going to be able to enjoy any of the fun, he 'll have to find a way to use all of his lessons from this school year to make the most out of every shot he takes at being successful.
